Can I make a D9P with a focus fabric that is directional?
#1
That is my question. Is there a way to make a D9P with fabric that is only "good" one way? I have been trying to wrap my brain around this. If I put my focus fabric in the four outer squares, all in the correct direction, will half be upside down in my finished block?
If I put the top outer two squares upside down, would that make them "right side up" in the block?
Does this make any sense? Maybe I just have to sew up a block or two to figure this out, but anyone who has figured this out, please let me know.
Thanks!!

It works. I did one with directional fabric. I found I had to change about every other one.
There is a cute heart block that is turned into a D9P that shows how to handle directional fabric.
....I found a Fons and Porter pattern called Flag & Hearts with D9P. It doesn't show clearly but....
In your 9 patch, patches 3 and 7 should be upside down. Here's an example of a directional D9P I just finished.

Okay, so it is do-able. I did a search and found a thread that had suggestions, but they confuse me. I guess I need to try it on paper. At least that might let me wrap my brain around it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Just watch you don't inadvertently shift one of the blocks at some point!
